| In the arc of a love affair
|
| Lies the point of no return
|
| First you lose your self respect
|
| Then you hide all the hurt
|
| Well, I’ve been here thinkin'
|
| Long enough to figure out
|
| That a chance has got to come
|
| And it’s all up to you
|
| Be good or be gone
|
| Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
|
| Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
|
| Umm, one day you’re gonna find yourself, by yourself
|
| You see the choice is so simple now
|
| Cause there really is no choice to make
|
| I not gonna let you treat me badly
|
| No, I won’t be makin' that mistake
|
| And it’s all up to you
|
| Be good or be gone
|
| Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
|
| Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
|
| Umm, one day you’re gonna find yourself, by yourself
|
| Make a decision, make up your mind
|
| Give me my proper respect and baby, don’t ever forget
|
| That a real love is precious and rare
|
| But you’ve got to be ready to give, and ready to share
|
| It’s all up to you
|
| Be good or be gone
|
| Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
|
| Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
|
| Umm, one day you’re gonna find yourself, by yourself |
